a DEMOCRACY THROUGHOUT OUR SCHOOL YEAR To be free, to live in security — that is Democracy. Praying in the church of one's choice, speaking one's thoughts, attending public school — all that is Democ- racy too. That, and more, we shall strive to keep forever. For as it was the way of life of former generations in America, so it is our way of life, and it is the hope for its continuance that we now fight. Our Democracy is struggling on every front — the home and school front — the production front — and the battle front. With those several forces, striving together for the realization of victory, victory shall be ours. We cannot lose. And with that victory, the life of our Republic is safe because we have the Constitution to assure freedom forever and public education to provide the understanding and enjoyment of that freedom. And so wo dedicate this 1943 Blackhawk Annual to Democracy—to Democracy and all for which it stands, and to those students who have already taken their places among the armed forces to protect and defend our democratic way of life.

I wish you the highest degree of success in whatever you do from now on. We know that the immediate future of many of you will be governed by the present war emergency. I am certain that what- ever your places are in this, you will give a good account of yourselves. Those sentiments are as sincero as the ex- pression is brief. Sincerely, Superintendent of Schools Irvin H. Schmitt Left: A School Board scene. The board consisted of Henry H. Jebens, Web- ster L. Mason, Bert E. Der- ry. Mrs. Anne Rendlemen, William Blaser. Harry M. Nabstedt, and Harry B. Betty who was replaced by Robert Sass in tho March election. Principal A. I. Neumann The school year of 1942-43 Is rapidly receding into one of happy memories. It has been a year which has brought many fine achievements and challenges. Many students have won high distinctions in scholarship, outstanding honors in service to the school in its extra-curricular activities, and noteworthy successes in aiding the war efforts of our government against those evil forces which are attempting to destroy democracy and freedom. To the graduates of this year's class go the sincerest, best wishes of the entire school — the faculty, the students, and the administrative officers. May the future for each graduate be actually much brighter than it seems to be at present! May your highest ambitions be realized! Congratulations and the best of everything to you always. Sincerely, Principal Soated it Mitt Viola Volk- ens, attendance clarlt, dis- cutting office problems with Mrt. Norma Pott, princi- pal's secretary. OUR COUNSELORS Every American has the right to live his own life, developing his talents, and choosing an occupation. So, in school we have the right to select the subjects we desire; we have the privi- lege of being counseled by competent teachers. Each counselor, supervising the conduct as well as schedules, follows a section of one class through the entire high school course. Soon be- coming acquainted with their counselors, the students eagerly seek them for anything from absence slips to their place in a post-war world. Miss Leona L. Soehron, director of counseling. GUIDE US In the counseling office is a complete file for each student. Thus, the bench has a refer- ence for the grades, activities, and character of the counselees. If a schoolteacher's work is never done, then a counselor's tasks are unend- ing. Besides teaching regular classes, they must be available in the counseling room during cer- tain periods. Helping plan schedules, advising on the choice of a college, encouraging the dis- heartened, and congratulating holders of good reports, all are in a day's routine. Our counselors, left to right: Wallace Evans, Miss Lucille Burianek, Miss Ma- bel Johnstone. R. M. Ham- mes. Miss Adelaide 8alluff. and C. W. Hach. Seated in the center is Miss Elinor Bein, the counsoling secre- tary. 10 WE MAINTAIN OUR HEALTH To promote the general welfare, Nurse Wilna Nash, Dr. Carl Matthey, and Dentist W. G. Teegen carefully guard the health of the people of Davenport High. Always on duty, they real- ize that health education, never more urgent than now, can be spread through the schools. The First Aid rooms, ever ready to receive emer- gencies, are miniature infirmaries supervised by Miss Nash. This year, all sophomores were given the opportunity to have a tuberculin test as a part of a state-wide campaign. A movie on tuberculosis and a test demonstration were pre- sented in an auditorium. Dr. Carl Matthey and Nurio Wilna Nath administer the tuberculin test to a student. OUR SPEECH DEFECTS ARE CORRECTED Speech Correctionist Miss Jacqueline Keas- ter demonstrates the lip shut movement to her class. Left to right: Leslie Joslin, Margaret Nahra. Jack Loronzen, Elizabeth Ann Moody, and Jack Beintema. That they may qualify for any type of work and enun- ciate clearly when expressing their opinions, speech cor- rection and lip reading courses are available to all students from kindergarten through the senior year. At Davenport High, one of the five school systems in Iowa offering such a course, lip reading for which credit is given, is taught to those who have minor defects in hearing. After taking this subject, the student is able to compensate quite well by reading lips. Speech correction can be taken only by those who have been recommended by teachers or the nurse, or who have taken previous work in the interme- diate schools. This course, also giving credit, corrects any small speech imperfections. Under the guidance of Miss Keaster, the students often learn to speak more distinctly than the average, careless high school student.

WE PLAN OUR FUTURES VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE The greatest heritage of American citizens is opportunity, opportunity to achieve the highest standards of living, opportunity to attain eco- nomic independence and the enjoyment of the finer things in life. The occupations classes are confident that opportunity can be realized only by finding for which of the 29,000 occupations they are best suited. Following the ninth grade social science course, tenth grade occupations classes learn how man makes his living, examine their own capacities and interests, and analyze one particular occupation. As their part in the war effort, the occupations classes spent much time studying the necessary preparation and qualifications for some 400 branches of the service, and essential civilian occupations. Finding their place in the war effort is a diffi- cult task for high school students. To aid them in securing part-time jobs, Mr. Calvert, director of vocational guidance, and Miss Cotter, occu- pational instructor, conduct the D. H. S. place- ment bureau. With students' names on file, they place the right man in the right job. Mitt Mildred Blair, ra- tail tailing imtructor. WE TRAIN TO SELL Kay Schuttar ditplayt shoot to a customer in a downtown store. RETAIL SELLING We Americans are not compelled to concentrate on only one line of study while in our teens. We may receive full credit for required scholastic work and hold a permanent job besides. Retail selling, the newest addition to the high school curriculum, pro- vides this democratic opportunity. Students enrolled in this program spend half the day taking subjects required for graduation, retail selling courses, and other subjects which may be elected. The rest of the day is spent in the practical laboratory, for which credit is given. They clerk in downtown stores and receive the usual compensation. Laying the foundation for work on a professional level after col- lege, or for full-time employment following high school, retail selling gives students actual experience. Work on the job is discussed in the two classes — merchandising and consumer goods.

There are few freedoms that mean more to Americans than to draw or paint as their emotions direct. That we may make use of our desire to express ourselves in this way, the art department of D. H. S. includes art training in numerous fields. Fundamentals of art, drawing, painting, principles of design, sculpturing, commer- cial art, and metalcraft are taught in the three-year art course. Men Working Together, the mural opposite the office, The Pioneers, now on display at the Main Street entrance, and two war murals were completed this year. These paintings, as well as war stamp posters, menu covers, and braille covers — projects for the Junior Red Cross — pos- ters for the rag and woolen drive, and dec- orative war maps showing army and naval training centers or Pacific battle scones represent tho work of the art department to aid in the war effort.

The swift tempo of modern life moves no more quickly than the nimble fingers of D. H. S. secre- tarial students. To fill the demand for typists in defense plants, the stenographic curriculum al- lowed students to take typing without shorthand this year. Contributing to victory, the secretarial science students addressed the Red Cross en- velopes containing Christmas seals, and to help the office force, they typed our report cards. These students have the privilege of taking prac- tice civil service tests in preparation for future secretarial examinations. Business flourishes in a democracy! As free individuals, we strive to climb the ladder of suc- cess in the world of commerce, aided by the knowledge of business administration we learn at high school. With the position of a business executive as their goal, the commercial students may take courses in bookkeeping, office machine training, salesmanship, accounting, commercial law, and industrial geography. The boys who will defend our democracy study these courses, knowing that keeping figures straight is the basis of all mathematical computations.

ENGLISH IS That we may use our freedom of speech to the utmost advantage, we learn the proper usage of the English language. Two years of English are re- quired for graduation. Consequently, a variety of courses is offered: English, the study of grammar and composi- tion, business English in which we learn the proper way to carry on business correspondence, and literature by which we are taught well-known au- thors and poets through their works. Two elective courses which have re- cently been added to the English cur- riculum are recent literature and crea- tive writing. In recent literature we may learn about the works of contem- porary authors and dramatists. Crea- tive writing is especially designed for students who aro interested in becom- ing authors, poets, or playwrights, but is also enjoyed by those who just like to write. Another course available in English for students who are interested in newspaper or magazine careers is journalism. Although journalistic and literary principles sometimes differ, we Americans realize it is best to know both sides of a question. The high school journalist may obtain ex- perience by working on our school newspaper or yearbook.

Left to right: Barbara Berry. Warren Field, Jenny Strez- leclti, Jeanette Ackley, and Kay Schuttcr look up a word in the dictionary in an IIA business English class. ESSENTIAL American and English literature courses are divided into two groups—general literature and college preparatory. Besides the textbook used in the college courses, the students review their grammar and spelling in the use of the college placement book in American literature and the M. O. S. book in English literature. Those of us who intend to further our educa- tion find the college preparatory courses in literature very helpful as well as interesting, especially if we enjoy reading. In American literature, among the poems studied are Walt Whitman's I Hear America Singing, Joyce Kilmer's Trees, and Carl Sandburg's Chi- cago. Famous speeches of history such as Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address are also read. Two of the favorite essays are William Allen White's Mary White and Helen Kel- ler's Three Days to See. Upon completion of the essays, the students take their pens to compose their own, expressing their opinions freely. English literature provides a siudy of great English authors. Beowulf, one of the greatest adventure stories, and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, a kaleidoscope of English life during the fourteenth century, are oxtreme- ly popular. English instructors exemining a litorary map of Iowa arc. from left to right: Miss Joan MacDonald. Miss Elsio Wallace. Frank L. Madden, and Miss Josephine Mirfield. After completing our English, whether it be literature, Eng- lish, or business English, we have a thorough knowledge of grammatical construction, vocabulary, spelling, and the writing of compositions, which are all helpful to us in taking our place in this growing democracy. The English teachers present their material in various ways, although tests are always in order! Discussion groups decide the questions brought up in a tenth grade class, while students in the higher grades prepare short skits using makeup and costumes. Contests, too, are held as a moans of promoting class interest, for students are always eager to participate.

WE BUILD STRONGER BODIES While commando fighting units are defending vital areas, the boys in our gym classes are learning the same tactics. A rugged commando course, modeled after the Navy Pre- Flight schools, is divided into four ranks, from Rookie to Ranger. The Big Ten Parade , presented by all the athletic groups, hailed the universities of that conference by short exhibitions of the sport in which each school excelled. As for femi- nine gym, the girls may play vigorous sports such as basketball and base- ball, or they may choose modern dancing, tennis, and ping pong. To promote interest, inter-class and in- tra-mural tournaments are conducted. Abovo: A group of boy from on of Mr. Johnson's commando class- os perform exercises.

They have successful careers as well as orderly homes. Learn- ing to be a homemaker is the most im- portant part of a woman's life, and consequently, sewing, cooking, home management, and dietetics are offered. Practicing in a special building arranged in typical rooms, on the campus, the girls learn the difference between a house and a home. By stitching bedjackets for tho hos- pitalized wives of soldiers and sailors, wrapping surgical dressings, making over old garments, and conserving pins, needles, and metal sewing machine parts, the home economics classes have certainly done their part in the war effort.

WE LEARN MANUAL SKILLS Draftsmen sketch, presses whir, and lathes turn in our industrial arts building, equipped with presses, welding machines, and a blue-printing machine. Whereas a few years ago, the youth- ful machinists were engaged in making steel tools, small motors, and other personal articles, today their main objective is to learn how to turn out weapons of war quickly. Many funda- mentals and techniques must be learned in our timely industrial arts courses. The boys learn the art of patience, for everything must be done accurately and carefully that they may achieve efficiency for work in later life as well as safety at the present time.

Turning out an issue of the Blackhawk are. left to right: Keith Lynch and Harry Ade, while instructor Mr. Holbrook examines the copy. When passing the industrial arts building, hear- ing the drone of machines and the whirring of the presses, we Icnow our machines are at work. Our printing presses may be busy turning out copies of school publications, for freedom of the press is staunchly maintained in our press room. Our printing department also prints posters and cards for school use. Boys who are seeking prac- tical education in welding, blue-printing, mechan- ical drawing, or printing spend much of their time in the industrial arts building. They must carefully follow instructions to get the desired results. However, in some cases, they are forced to repeat their trials many times before acquir- ing the necessary technique. If a mold is good, an aluminum casting of fine quality will be pro- duced. Patiently and carefully, working at draw- ing boards on engine designs and other things, the boys soon learn that everything must bo computed accurately. Thus, activity continues throughout the day in industrial arts. Our young men forge ahead, and the machines continue to turn in the industrial arts building where much technical knowledge and practical experience is obtained.

In order that we may spread the princi- ples of democracy among foreign nations, we must know their language and customs. Translating the complicated phrases of French, Spanish, Latin, and German teach- es us not only vocabulary, but also the cultural background of the people. Our five linguists know that their teachings havo professional consequence, too. Future doc- tors, lawyers, and pharmacists find Latin, the basis of all other romance languages, invaluable. French and German, besides their classical importance, may be advan- tageous in counter-espionage and building the post-war world, while a knowledge of Spanish, the most popular, helps us pro- mote hemispherical solidarity.

OUR ROOM FOR RESEARCH Librarians, left to right: Mrs. Minnie Rodlor and Miss Thelma Grovor. The truth shall make you free. And the truth is found in those books, written by our brilliant ancestors and contemporaries, which may be found in the school library. Ambitious students are often seen here, especially future pilots and weather men, taking ad- vantage of the countless volumes of reference material. They ask Miss Grover, librarian, and Mrs. Rodler, assistant, such questions as, Would you please tell me how this book ends? or Do you have page-long resume's of books? With the doors open from 8 until 4:30, the librarians accommodate many learners before and after school hours. During this time, the boys may read the sports page of the morning paper, while the girls peruse the fashion magazines. Doing its part in the war effort, our library with hun- dreds of others throughout the land, sponsored a Victory book drive. Such posters as Give a Book You've Liked — V Book Drive, reminded us to remember our friends in the service. 23 MUSIC BUILDS MORALE Instrumental music instructors examining a piece of music are. left to right: Tom Col- lins and F.

Tho string section of the or- chestra is having a rehearsal. Only a free people can fruly sing; they are the only ones really happy. Knowing that the magic in music builds morale, our vocal department offers courses in music appreciation, harmony, and both fundamental and advanced singing. With swingy tunes, marches, and South American rhumbas among its repertoire, the peppy band boasts 92 members. Just as enthusiastic is the large orchestra playing classical num- bers. Rehearsals often became tiring, Maestros Gannett and Mortiboy often groaned at discordant notes, but the re- sults were worth it — the band, orches- tra, and choruses' joint concert and High de High were hailed as musical successes. Listening to « recording In a music class, from left to right, are: Ed Schriclter, Shirley Isenberg, Sara Fuller. Betty Lou Young. Donald Arp, and Mildred Blunk.

MATH IS VITAL Math is the basis of all army and navy tests, explains Mr. Bickford, teacher of ad- vanced mathematics. For this reason advanced algebra, college algebra, and aeronautics, the science of flying, are offered. Also avail- able is a survey or refresher course to pre- pare for army or naval induction. Mathematics makes us analytical; geometry teaches us to think. The boys pictured using a tripod in a geomotric experiment realize this. Beginning algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry are invaluable to our pilots, engineers, and even to the house- wife who pays the grocery bill.

At D. H. S. the aspiring young scientist has the opportunity to become initiated through experiment with the beaker and retort, under the direction of Mr. Money. Col- lege preparatory chemistry is offered to seniors; home economics majors and nurses find applied chemistry useful. From the chem lab of today's high schools will come the men and women of tomorrow to continue the task of im- proving man's lot, and making life more pleasant, varied, and useful.

In the excellent environment of the school laboratory, students become enthusiastic about a subject that ordinarily seems to reek of dead cats and pickled snakes. Here, though, it overcomes these unpleasant associations, and is transformed into a practical, living factor in aiding free men to appreciate tho wonder of nature and of life.

WE LEARN TO SPEAK FREELY Freedom of speech, guaranteed to us in our Bill of Rights, means that we may speak our own opinions on any and every subject. But of what use is this privilege if we do not know how to give our words import? In our high school, we are taught how to gain poise and self-assurance in speaking, whether we are at home or in a factory, through expres- sion, interpretation of the printed page, ap- preciation of poetry and prose, fundamentals of acting, makeup, and stagecraft. Guided by Mr. Hopkins, Mrs. Tornquist, and Mrs. Kras- chel, the student actors use their knowledge learned in the classroom to enact plays. The American Way, this year's outstanding pro- duction, was presented by a cast of 100. Public speaking students, under the direc- tion of Mr. Keibcr, study debate, extempo- raneous speaking, declamation, and oratory. The Keiber-ites have a reputation for bring- ing home victories in almost every contest. Their goal is to deliver the Gettysburg Ad- dress on Memorial Day, or to be a speaker of their graduation class. Above: Public speakers, left to right: Lestor Ziffron.

WE STUDY THE WORLD'S PROGRESS It is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national Union to your collective and individual happiness. —George Washington's Farewell Address Times are changing and we are changing with them. Ever wondering if history will repeat itself, wo try to grasp the full meaning of our country and its govern- ment. As required by state law, one year of American history and one semester of civics are taken by every student. To those who major in social science, three sections of European history, as well as economics and sociology are offered. Old Glory, the only flag that has never known defeat, took the limelight in Mr. Ringstrom's classes last fall when 108 magazine covers displaying the flag were exhibited. As a part of the national Share the Ride program, our social science department conducted a survey to see just how many of us were walking to school, crowding the busses, or sharing our family cars. In collaboration with the American Legion, this department takes an active part in the Boys' State movement. Through this election, we learn to appreciate the privileges of citizenship and the boys are taught civic leadership.

ON THE MARCH 30 True democracy prevails in the Davenport High School Reserve Officers Training Corps, for there each of the privates coming in as a sophomore has an equal chance with all the rest of his classmates to attain high rank and honors. With the United States in the midst of the present conflict, cadets realize the part that they are to play in the war and have buckled down to theoretical work and drill under the leadership of Cadet Colonel William Howell in the fall and Cadet Colonel Nat Ozmon in the spring. Under the supervision of Major John Clark, P. M. S. T., who was assisted by two new non-commission- ed officers, Sergeants Vickers and McMillian, cadets studied earnestly such subjects as combat principles, musketry, mapreading, scouting and patrolling, first aid, sanitation, rifle markmanship, and military courtesy and discipline. One who seemed like a permanent fixture of the local unit, Sergeant Barlow, left early in the fall semester when he was appointed a warrant officer and sent to Fort Benning, Georgia, where he is now stationed. Sarge Barlow had been connected with the local unit as assistant P. M. S. T. for over 14 years. Tho fall regimental itaff reviewing their command.

C. cancelled many of their extra-curricular activities, but the honorary cadet officers were olected as usual to reign at the R. O. T. C. dance January 8. Marjorie Brownlie was elected colonel by the democratic method of balloting as were the three honorary lieutenant-colonels, Marilyn Lane, Ann Bates, and Betty Jeanne Thomas. Chicago Tribune awards for scholastic excellence were presented each semester with the gold medal going to Charles Witt the first semester and Ernest Howell the sec- ond. Silver medals were presented to Nat Ozmon and Aldie Johnson. Recipients of the bronze medals were John Freund and Gerald Fiedler. 31 Palling In Review Working hard during the year preparing for the annual inspection at Vander Veer Park, the D. H. S. cadets were very careful to look their neatest for that eventful day when they were tested on close order and extended order drill and inspected for personal neatness and fitness. So that some of our fighting men might have guns to drill with, the R. O. T. C. gave up its regula- tion rifles and substituted these with all-wood vic- tory trainer rifles.

C. boys could not wait to finish their high school train- ing and left school to enlist in the armed forces. Many who stayed behind enlisted in reserve branches for call to active duty when they graduated in June. Retired officers were strong in numbers during the spring semester and proved themselves very valu- able to the unit in rendering constructive criticism and giving needed instruction. Heading the list of graduate officers were Cadet Colonels William Howell and Ted Lorenzen. Activities of the drill team were cancelled and those of the rifle team were curtailed with more time on the rifle range being devoted to the instruc- tion of new cadets in the art of rifle marksmanship under the direction of Cadet Captain Ford Kelting, range officer, and member of the rifle team.

To attend her majesty, Ann Bates, Nelda Hol- land, Marilyn Lane, and Deloris Worthan were chosen from the twelve candidates nominated by the seniors. Due to war conditions, the pep parade and floats were dis- continued to prevent tie-up of vital traffic. However, the tradi- tional aud began the enthusiasm and gayety of Homecoming. The royal party was presented to the student body and they as well as the other candidates, Mardeen Border, Lois Fahrner, Sally Hiegcl, Jeanette Lehmann, Dorothy McCoy, Harriet Posner, and Betty Thomas were given war stamp corsages. Opening the actual festivities, the annual banquet was held at the Outing Club at 5:30 o'clock. Bill Howell, president of the Hi-Y, served as toastmaster; Alderman Art Kroppach and Principal Naumann were the featured speakers. From the banquet, the regal party, who had received favors (compacts), and their escorts proceeded to the athletic field. Just before the game they were escorted across the 50-yard line to the royal box where Her Highness was crowned by Mr. Kroppach. Climaxing the celebration was the Victory Ball in our gymna- sium where Miss Victory and her court led the grand march. Her majesty was presented the Homecoming football and a gold engraved trophy.

Street parados, bond drives, recruiting rallies, departure of service men, all have been a part of the band's contribution in the furthering of America's principles, its war efforts, and democracy. Patriotic in theme, a minstrel show, sponsored by the Band and Orchestra Parents' Club, was presented March 12, 13, and 14. Its entire proceeds, $1500, went into the investment of bonds for future bands. Boy ' quartet, loft to right: Eugene Kel- ler, Mervin Bashaw.

S. dramatists set out early in the year to put this privilege to a good use when the American Way was presented on November 4 and 5 under the direction of Mr. Hopkins. In this play, which tells the story of how an immigrant works his way up in our democ- racy, the high school actors gave a show which really fitted the times.

A FREE PRESS From the archives of broken peace we are bringing out old words and dusting them off for use again as shining lanterns to load us through the darkness of another war. These ancient words, such as freedom, justice, and truth, are difficult to define, yet we proudly proclaim, Wo have freedom of the press. The right to print the news as we see it here in high school lays the basis for the broad-minded, im- partial editors of tomorrow. Competing with high schools from all over the country, The Blackhawk was declared superior in the International Quill and Scroll contest, and for the first time was crowned All-American by the National Scholastic Press Association. Proud of their honors, yet eager to improve, the staff attended the Double-1 Press Conference held in Moline in November.

Earl Larson, editor-in-chief, became as permanent a fixture as the Civil War Monument on Main Street, maintaining a surprisingly even temper throughout rubber cement stickups , un-met deadlines, and blue-penciled copy. Production had to be stepped up because of war-time shortages. Dead- lines had to be met sooner and on time, and warnings that the book must be in the hands of the printer by May I constantly hounded the staff. When positive deadline, the first day of May, rolled around, the annual was a perfect example of organized confusion. People were working at top- speed, frantically piecing late sections of the dummy together. Pencils were as scarce as type lice. But it was completed — the printer received it on time. And so we of the annual staff, with flashbulb-blinded eyes, layout headaches, and typing calloused fingertips, present it to you.

DEMOCRACY IS OUR THEME '43 BLACKHAWK ANNUAL A study in chaos might be accented by disappearing pen- cils, coke bottles, trimmed and cropped pictures, a photo- grapher and no group present to be photographed, or a group present but no photographer, clacking typewriters, corny jokes, counting words, and checking copy. But through this mass of confusion—going on since early last September—an annual was being created. Pictures were being taken, copy turned in, lay- outs sent to the engravers, and the theme of Democracy con- stantly stressed. The finished product records the events of the year, and between the lines it contains the souls of a once sane group. A group of journalists who spent their waning hours writing copy and pleading with photographers in Satan's own lair—Room 29. This is the yearbook of 1943. It has come about through an attempt of the annual staff to interpret the movements and habitat of our subject—YOU. Doing this while continuing under our central theme of Democracy, the result has been a written and pictorial analysis of Daven- port High School—its people, its teach- ings, its extra-curricular activities, and its contribution to Democracy. Gathered around Ben Swanson, artist and layout expert, are Bill Wundram, picture editor; Teddy Casey, activity editor; and Marilyn Lane, class editor.

Officers elect- ed by the fall Junior Red Cross council were Katherine Brownlie, The Red Cross, symbol of mercy, is the lifeline between the home front and the bat- tlefield. Praised for its works of charity, sym- pathy, and kindness in the foreign countries which have been fighting for so long, the Red Cross is now fully on duty to aid America's civilians, her allies, and, most important, her boys serving with the armed forces either at home or abroad. Red Cross nurses, ever ready to ease the pain of a wounded soldier or give comfort to a broken-hearted family, are to be found throughout the entire globe to- day. Supplementing the ossential work of the Red Cross in the high schools is the Junior Red Cross of which D. H. S. proudly boasts a chapter. Not only to be a direct aid to the Red Cross, but also to enlighten students about the vast importance and need of such a mer- ciful organization is the purpose of the Junior Red Cross chapter.

S. played an important part in the war effort of this country. In a true democracy, everyone —factory workers, farmers, business men. housewives, school students —plays an important part in the winning of a war, and students at D. H. S. proved no exception since they did their part. The students' willingness to aid their country came out through their good showings in scrap metal, rags and woolens, and tin drives, stamp and bond sales, and the making of model airplanes (used by the government to instruct flyers), and patriotic murals. uuiecAW 56 Loading scrap tin ara, left to right: Ben Quigg, Bob Burlingame.

EFFORT Because of the need for young flyers, an aeronautics course was taught, enabling the students to get basic flying knowledge. Some boys enlisted in the V-5 pro- gram for naval aviation before graduation while many others took tests which would put them in line for induc- tion into a select branch of the service and officers' train- ing schools. In an attempt to meet the demand for skilled labor, the industrial arts department went at top speed, train- ing students during the day and adults at night.

Soloist Barbara Lehne accompan- ied by the advanced chorus and A'cappella combined, directed by Mr. Gannett. Freedom from fear , a clause of the Roosevelt-Church- ill Atlantic Charter, can best be realized by America sing- ing. Just as the Aussie troops beat the drums to Roll Out the Barrel and the brave guer- rilla fighters of Draja Mihailo- vitch chant their Yugoslavian tunes, so we sing to show our joy and appreciation of a great democracy. Directed by Mr. Kent Gannett whose patience seems everlasting, the choruses commit to memory the works of such composers as Verdi, Tschaikowsky and Palestrina in preparation for vocal concerts and entertaining Davenport clubs. Highlighting the year's work was the presentation of La Touche and Robinson's Ballad for Americans , a modern can- tata representing all America in the voice of one man, in joint concert with the band and orchestra. Accompanied by the entire mixed chorus, Karl Schmidt sang the bass solo made famous by Paul Robeson. Also sponsored by the vocal de- partment was a fall concert featuring the Miserere scene from the opera II Trovatore with Evelyn Gundrum and Mar- vin Bashaw as soloists, and the spring A'cappella and popular song program where comedy features, A'cappella numbers, solos, and the Brazilian samba dance provided an evening of gay entertainment.

They're the ones that these artists of D. H. S. majored in—especially the night of the newspapor costume contest. In- cidentally, Jean Stoltenberg models the prize- winning attire with credit for designing going to Claire Stoltenberg, Gloria Erb, and Doris Lemburg. At the beginning of things this year, a framed portrait of Principal A. I. Naumann, sketched by Don Denny, was presented for the new clubroom. At other notable club meetings members saw Carl Machover and Bob Leschzenier demonstrate cartooning and heard modern artists chided by Jack Gordon Fleming, Sara Fuller, and Jean Stoltenberg in a humorous skit, At the Modern Art Exhibit. Then there were the times that all the artists tested their ability to illustrate songs and stories and Miss Elizabeth Moeller, director of the Municipal Art Gallery, came to talk on Silk Screen Painting. She showed silk screen paintings by well-known artists. There was the night of the pantomime by Louise Petersen, Edith Eggert, Gerald Williams, and Phyllis Stein; and there was always Miss Simi ready and willing to help enthusiastically with what was going on or to suggest a novel idea for a future meeting. Louise Petersen served as president the first semester with Richard Lemburg as vice- president, Marian Wilson as secretary, and Verla Ehlers as treasurer. The spring semester found Marjorie Murray in the president's chair being assisted by Vice-president Mary Wea- therly; Secretary Phyllis Swain; and Treasurer Barbara Zoeckler. 62 DRAMATICS CLUB Lights! Action! Camera! are the words that call Dramatics Club members to the front. They'll follow these same calls in future years—though per- haps with hidden meanings—as they go forth to strengthen our Democracy and keep our Freedom ringing. With Mrs. Kraschel, Mrs. Tornquist, and Mr. Hop- kins as official overseers, these professional ama- teurs were in full swing at each meeting. Babbit's Boy , a single-act play, featured Jean Hawley, Brian Hinton, Jerry Feniger, Helen Gorton, Jean Schricker, and Virginia Nichols. Christmas time brought A Christmas Concert, based upon the Nutcracker Suite by Tschaikowsky, a play di- rected and arranged by June Albrecht. The cast included Alice Alfred, Janice Larson, Marge Hav- ens, Martha Hunt, Sally Hiegel, Art Adams, and Beverly Pitha. A feature of the year was Dick Steckel's talk, Boys and Girls Together, on his experiences tra- veling in the east with the Salisbury players. Do Dramatists Know Their Drama? was the theme of a quiz program covering plays, movies, and the theater, and conducted by Beverly Pitha. While experts before the lights, Dramatics Club members also know what they're doing behind them. They know this business of disguising actors and actresses from A to Z. They're capable of giving their own calls for Stage! Places! Curtain! They know what it's all about when the lights go on— and when they don't. Determination and hard work along with laughter and fun symbolize Dramatics Club, and all this is saluted here by DHS'ers who enjoyed Tons of Money and the senior class play, Yes and No , too. They know that club members were instrument- al in bringing about their success. Fall semester officers were Ed Fleming, president; Rosemary Doyle, vice-president; and Don Cassling, secretary-treasurer. In the spring, club members elected June Albrecht, president; Dick Steckel, vice- president; and Midge Brownlie, secretary-treasurer. Row I, loft to right: Betty Singleton, Jean Hawley.

Keeping fit is not just a wartime phase with the girls of S.A.A. They know it's absolutely necessary to be well in order to enjoy life and to keep up with our democratic way of life. But these girls aren't organized just for their individual welfare. They have comradeship and community service in mind when they earn their 50 activity points re- quired to join the club. At the beginning of the year new girls were greeted at a rushing affair in the form of a roller skating party. Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for the needy were a project they carried out. They sponsored the Spinster Spree—with its fair escorts and attractive flower corsages for the boys. Heading G.A.A. the first semester were Jeanette Lehmann, president; Ruth Hennings, vice-president; Pat Jansen, secretary-treasurer. Leaders elected in the spring were Jackie Oakes, president; Gertrude Hoffbauer, vice-president; and Marianna Trekell. secretary-treasurer. Ruth Hennings and Marilyn Mohr won the high- est awards given in G.A.A. The 1750 point letter signifies that the girl has won all three possible awards. Five girls, Jean Chambliss, Dolores Cleven- ger, Alice Crownover, Evelyn Tadlock, and Joan Werthmann earned pins and membership in the Girls' Athletic Association of Iowa by crediting themselves with 1000 points. Red and blue 500 point letters (D's) went to Marilyn Collins, Shirley Fleck, Eloise Gaghagen, Betty Glass, Lily Martens, Lorraine Mast, Janice Morey, Hazel Preston, Jane Schroeder, and Marianna Trekell. 64 Brotherhood is the word for Hi-Y! And its aim is to spread this brotherhood throughout the school and community. Cooperation and ideals lead to accomplishments and good times among the fel- lows of Hi-Y who were led by both Mr. Hach and Max Clowers, advisers. That is—until they sent Max off to take a Navy post with the Y. M. C. A. in Norfolk, Virginia, after honoring him and Mrs. Clowers at a banquet at the Lend-A-Hand Club. Bob Hayes, former Hi-Y prexy, was toastmaster at this event. At Homecoming time this year Bill Howell, Don Makeever, Don Shawver, Earl Larson, and Ed Flem- ing rated top men in the club and took over duties of escorting Queen Midge Brownlie and her attend- ants. Then there were services during Holy Week for all D. H. S. Hi-Y members joined Student Club in bringing about these religious services and the programs accompanying them. To view again some of the highlights of the year, we see Mr. Erich Rahlsen, German-born citizen who came to the U. S. to reside in 1939, describing brutal German fencing. We see a group of Hi-Y'ers journeying across the river to hear Dr. Frank Slutz, eminent business man and author, of Dayton, Ohio, who spoke to a Hi-Y audience representing seven neighboring cities. A mere example of the hot times whooped up by the regulars in Hi-Y is the nifty Valentine Party they cooked up. Then there was the annual June party for senior members at Camp Abe Lin- coln. Officers of the organization in the fall were: pres- ident, Bill Howoll; vice-president, Don Makeever; secretary, Don Shawver; treasurer, Earl Larson, sergeant-at-arms, Tony Zanutto; chaplain, Ed Flem- ing; and program chairman, Dick Johnston. Leading the group in the last semester were: president, Ed Fleming; vice-president, Karl Wagner; secretary, Don Shawver; treasurer, Aldie Johnson; sergeant-at-arms, Roger Olson; chaplains, Bill Men- gel and Jim Zanutto; and program chairman, Matt Merrill.

JANE ADDAMS CLUB Just as Jane Addams of Hu!l House de- voted her life to bettering conditions for others, the aim of Jane Addams girls is to serve others. Especially in war time are their deeds (such as making an afghan for Uncle Sam's army) recognized and appreciated. At Christmas, too, the girls proved their willingness to serve by gathering and repair- ing broken toys for small children at the Orphans' Home. Homemakers of tomorrow, these girls organize to gain broader outlooks and build stronger friendships. With Miss Whitney as adviser and Miss Nantz as club leader, officers were Merle Jenison, president; Marjorie Glaspell, vice-president; Lorelie Lar- son, secretary-treasurer. Due to the resigna- tions of Merle and Lorelie, Marjorie Glas- pell and Mary Vartanian took over the offices of president and secretary-treasurer in the spring.

LATIN CLUB Just as the Romans of old fought valiant wars, so modern Comitium Romanum —or Roman assembly —are in the run for victory today. This year saw the Latin Club donate money to the Red Cross and the China War Relief Fund. Fifty new Latin song books were purchased to keep up the morale of the students. With Caesar, Vergil, and Cicero as their constant guides, club members honored them, especially Vergil, who is studied by fourth year Latin students, by devoting time to him and learning about him at several meetings. Jean Chambliss told fortunes by interpreting passages of his Aoneid. Olympian Justice, a skit by Jean Heald, Vergil student, starred Harry Anrode, Alan Fuller, and Madalyn Ritchie. Getting away from the serious, there was the well-remembered quiz show conducted by Ed Stratton who offered candy dollars to suc- cessful contestants, as well as Don Shawver entertaining with his magic tricks. A skit, The Lamp Went Out, featuring Audrey Teich, Rose Marie St. John, and Donald Fer- rell as leads, was a highlight of one meeting. Ruling over the group in the fall were First Consul, Fenn Horton; Second Consul, Teddy Casey; Quaestor, Delores Newell; Scriba, Marilyn Miller; and Aedile, Janet Brown. Vir- ginia Hinrichsen headed the club during the final semestor with Kay Wahle, Dick Yager, Anvy Bower, and Mary Lou Lupton as assist- ants. Miss Eskelson and Miss Bates, advisers of the group, have this to say for their students —a revised bit of Caesar: They came, They saw, They conquered. 67 Mm NORMAL CLUB Open-minded education is truly the greatest blessing of our Democracy. In order that this great light may continue to shine, competent, understanding teach- ers are needed. Viewing teaching as a desirable profes- sion and picking up the fine points from Miss Wallace, these Normal Club girls will one day know what it is like to be on the other side of the desk —or the dishing out end. They've already had a sample of it, for some of them took over grade school classes for a day during the absence of regular teachers. Interesting meetings of the club year found Miss Doennecke demonstrating fing- er painting to the girls, Miss Cotter speak- ing on vocational guidance, and Miss Wal- lace, club adviser, giving the highlights of teaching as a profession. Heading the club in the fall was Nelda Holland, president. Other officers were vice-president, Verna Sothmann; secretary, Delores Hull; treasurer, Iva Wendhausen; historian, Katherine Blessing. Spring semester officers in order of rank were Delores Hull, Nelda Holland, Martha Williams, and Verna Sothmann. Seated, left to right: Nelda Holland, Delores Hull, Miss Wallace.

QUILL CLUB Yes—the days come and the days go in the world. And students of 1943 wonder just how sta- ble their form of government is and what they can do to help make it safe for posterity. They find Quill Club an outlet to their ponderings. For here the pencils go rolling along —laying out personal ideas which will no doubt aid future betterments of the world. Quills also flew on skit copy, too. An outstand- ing original presented to the club during the year was Phil Steffen's The Underground, a Nazi story starring Alice Alfred, Alan Fuller, Gerald Rodri- quez, Delores Swanson, Joe Timmers, and Bill Wundram. Then there was Ten O'Clock and All's Well'' written by June and Robert Albrecht and featuring Jean Chambliss, Bill Wundram, Kathryn Dismer, Jim Zanutto, Bill Bates, Sheldon Sitrick, and Bob Bates. Right in step with the times, a panel discussion of shortages and rationing all over the world was presented by Elizabeth Morey, Rosalie Allen, Mar- garet Holbrook, Virgene Pennewell, Virginia Day, Patricia Foley, and Lejeune Conley. A miniature minstrel show with super comedians in Dick Prose, Bill Wundram, Roger Nebergall, and Jerry Feniger shares honors among Quill's top-rat- ing programs. Responsible for these meetings in that she is always ready with alive suggestions and new ideas —Miss Johnstone does an A-1 job of guiding Quill members, with Mrs. Bardsley assisting. First semester officers of The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword Club were Dick Prose, president; Teddy Casey, vice-president; Albert Peterson, sec- retary; and Bill Wundram, treasurer. In the spring Dick was reelected president while Bill was chosen to serve as vice-president, Jim Zanutto as secretary, and Jean Chambliss as treasurer. 69 Row I, l ft to right: Mark Wren. Pet Jensen.

Whatever is in store for America and her way of life, these members of Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journal- ists, will probably have first. For they have noses for news—and trained ones. Mr. Hach in charge, if you please! But newcomers to this journalistic organization had even worse than nose trouble at their in- formal initiations. Seven fortunates survived this year, however, and were admitted formally at a candlelight ceremony at the Outing Club. They were Pat Jansen, Roseanne Hedberg, Virginia Eck- strom, Bob Rosene, Marie Wren, Dolores Ohland, and Karl Wagner. These seven weren't picked at random by a long shot! They qualified because of outstanding work on the newspaper or yearbook, because they're juniors or seniors, and because they are in the upper third of their classes scholastically. The program at the annual banquet featured Harriet Posner speaking on 30, Ruth Stremlow on The Lead, Mr. Hach on Stereotypes and Bromides, and Karl Wagner on The Hell Box. Dick Prose and Roseanne Hedberg furnished violin and piano music, and a decidedly original skit, Hitler Takes Over The Blackhawk, was presented. Retiring officers of the group in February were Harriet Posner, president; Teddy Casey, vice-pres- ident; and Earl Larson, secretary. Those installed were President Toddy Casey; Vice-President Earl Larson; and Secretary Bonnie McMurry. 70 Row I, loft to right: Ned Prochnow, Ernest Howell. Louie Nielsen. Merilyn Lone, Miss Meyer.

They're do- ing their part in strengthening the arm of friendship with our American neighbors. As a special project in connection with membership in this league Spaniards of the year who are under the super- vision of Miss Meyer, sent a collection of books to Columbia, South America. Pan American Day found a group of Spanish Club members attending the Pan American Banquet at Hotel Fort Arm- strong in Rock Island. This club year saw the purchase of a set of books containing short stories for the Spanish department and also a set of hispanaphone records covering a course of thirty lessons. And there was the mo- vie, Carmen La De Triana with English subtitles sponsored by the club and presented at the Up- town Theater for Spanish students of the Tri-Cities. Serving as president for the fall semester was Louis Nielsen. Other officers were vice-president, Ernest Howell; secretary, Ned Prochnow; treasurer, Marilyn Lane. Second semester leaders were Er- nest Howell, president; Louis Nielsen, vice-presi- dent; Midge Brownlie, secretary; Polly Doolen, treasurer. 71 Row I, Uft to right: Elaino Konnard, Lucille Neuendorf, Eloite Finch, Joyce Lehmann, Betty Thomas, Rosoanno Hed- berg, Mary Ellen Porter.

STUDENT CLUB Forward today for the future is the slogan Student Club girls have endeavored to put into practice this year, for it is the national slogan of all Girl Reserve branches—or junior members of the Y.W.C.A. Student Club, with its membership of varied social, racial, religious, economic backgrounds, and leadership of Miss Willa M. Hind, adviser, is in- deed a small Democracy within itself. Patriotic missions included the making of scrapbooks for U. S. O. centers by the Service Committee which was headed by Co-chairmen Joyce Lehmann and Virginia Copeland. A typewriter spool salvage drivo was also conducted by club members; and Student Club joined Hi-Y in sponsoring the annual Easter Holy Week services at St. John's Methodist Church. Roseanne Hedberg served as president during the year, first semester assistants being Jeanette Lehmann, vice-president; Betty Thomas, secretary; and Mary Ellen Porter, treasurer. Heading the pro- gram committee were Lucille Neuendorf and Eloise Finch. Other committees, their chairmen and second men were: membership, Jeanette Leh- mann and Patricia Jansen; finance, Mary Ellen Por- ter and Janet Crissey; social, Louise Boyer and Virginia Eckstrom; newspaper, Ruth Stremlow and Beverly Dschuden; publicity, June Rose Turner and Jean Heald; music, Beverly Champoux and Elaine Kennard; ring, Elaine Konnard. Because vacancies were left by mid-year grad- uates, Patricia Jansen was elected vice-president for the spring semester and the following appointed committee members: Geraldine Moeller, program; Barbara Lehne, membership; Nelda Poison, finance; Beverly Pearson, social; Betty Lou Schmidt, news- paper; Janet Crissey, publicity. 72 FRENCH CLUB Presenting les mademoiselles francaises of the French Club of Davenport High School under the supervision of Miss Blackman, ad- viser. This year members journeyed to France—on an imaginary trip, as Miss Blackman showed snap- shots and told of her European travels and especially her exper- iences in Paris. Joining other Frenchmen, this year representatives of the group attended the annual banquet of the Quad-city French Club in Rock Island. President Ann Bates reigned during the first semester — with Vice President Harriet Posner, Secretary Lois Fahrner, and Treas- ure Nelda Poison as assistants. All highs in respective order the following term were Lois Brown, Virginia Hinrichsen, Nelda Poison, and Shirley Meyer. Row I, left to right: Beverly Ray, Ann Bates, Miriam Maybach, Delores Benkert.

GERMAN CLUB Perhaps the old saying Good things come in small packages applies to German Club, Daven- port High School's smallest, which is advised by Miss Anderson. German the language of cul- ture, attracts future doctors, nurs- es, musicians, writers, and engi- neers. An atmosphere of friendli- ness, good spirit, and democracy in action prevailed at meetings of the c!ub — special mention given here to the Christmas-time assem- bly. Leading club activities in the fall were President Bob Lorenz, Vice President Nat Ozmon, and Secretary-Treasurer Hildegarde Storjohann. Spring officers were Gail Pain, president; Lois Miller, vice-president; Sally Schmidt, sec- retary; Nat Ozmon, treasurer. Standing, left to right: Walter Hummel, Bill Fritz, Mitt Anderton, Gail Pain.

Bob Arzberger. dependable guard. Trick weather, upsets, and a continually rising and falling tide of fortune marked the 1943 football season. The '42 Blue Devils, though they cut short a victory string of 20 just when it seemed as though Davenport was loose again and failed to cap- ture a single title, nevertheless brought home a top-heavy record of seven wins, three losses, and intrenched Davenport more firmly than ever as major football power. Starting off with a bang that seemed as loud to Davenport oars as the Shot heard round the world , the Imps buried their first opponent. Benton, Illinois, a newcomer to the schedule, beneath a convincing pilo of points. Franklin of Cedar Rapids, and East Moline fell next, to a team of Blue Devils displaying a floating power and systematized attack reminis- cent of 40 and '41 standout teams, and the record of 17 straight wins compiled by those teams was increased to 20 by the latest squad. However, the growing bubble of optimism soon burst before a blinding exhibition of speed and strategy put on by the Rock Islanders, and the Blues saw hope of a Quad-city title go a glimmering in the 27-0 defeat. Intent then on regaining their fallen prestige, the Imps roared into Mississippi Valley warfare, sweeping past Dubuque and Clinton with ex- Coach Day explains a play to backfield men Dave Sho- walter.

Snapping out of their sleeping beauty act, the Imps pulverized a favored Burlington squad and treked home in an attempt to com- fort themselves for the loss of the Valley title with the City crown. Unfortunately the Little Saints of Ambrose hadn't read the papers, and Daven- port's effort backfired in their faces and St. Ambrose won 12-0. Determined to at least climax the season success- fully, the Blue Devils went to Moline and surprised every- body with a 20-0 win. Tho Blue Devils drive over for a score in the East Moline game.

Handicapped at the outset of the '42 grid season by the loss of two valuable players, Dean Cooper, guard, and Harlan Henzen, fullback, to the varsity, the crippled sophs stumbled through the season with four wins and four losses. Surprisingly enough the yearlings displayed much the same characteristics that the varsity did, inter- mittent flashes of power brightening their schedule at various times. 78 Linomen Sig Fidyke, Eugene Belzer, Ace Moon.

Moline, and Rock Island each punished the locals severely, lack of coordination spoiling their play. The sophs, after giving each other a collective bawling out , turned about and shifted into high to collect the scalps of East Moline, Clinton, DeWitt, and Moline in that order, showing unusual ability. However, Rock Island, completing a splendid sea- son, proved just a bit too much for the soph crew and the season closed with a 13-6 defeat.

S. basketball season had all the prime ingredients of a thrill-a-minute year plus the added spice of being one of the state's top teams. In spite of the bad luck digging the trail of the '43 Imps, they turned in a really enviable record. Statistics show a total of 1176 points gathered by the Blue Devil basket experts during the season. That's an average of 40.5 points a game for 29 games, a point over a half a minute! A better record than the State Champs of '41 compiled. Opening their stormy 19 game schedule with a narrow 34-29 victory over Muscatine, the Imp squad was considered one of the big question marks of the '43 season. Only four veterans of the powerful '42 team returned to start the new season and two of these, 80 Right: Gabby Crow, sharpshooting forward. Extrema right: Bob Mac- Taggart, versatile hoopster. Bob Schulz and Bill Gallager of St. Ambrose, acting captains for the night, talk with visiting RAF pilots. Wayne Kelling and Roger Crow were mid-year graduates. The scrappy Blues found them- selves quickly, however, and Savannah, St. Ambrose, and Iowa City collapsed in that order. But, as though fright- ened at their good showing, the locals slow-motioned through a desperate overtime tilt with the Clinton River Kings, eking out a bare 37-33 win. Still groggy from their near trimming by Clinton, the Blue Devils collided with the fast traveling Moline Maroons hard enough to drop their five game victory string and add to Mo- line's growing reputation. Evi- dently deciding to make the slump convincing, the Blues next shuffled down to a 31-26 defeat by East Moline. Coming out of the cellar with a rush, the Imps scrambled the Dubuque defense and over- whelmed the surprised Rams 46-27. Definitely out for blood now, they reentered the blister- ing hot Quad-city warfare and upset a game Rock Island quin- tet 43-41 in a photo-finish. Pounding on, they slipped past Muscatine despite brilliant work by Kochneff and paused to reorganize the team. Mid-year graduations made the change necessary by robbing the locals of three first stringers. Reacting as expected, the Blue Devils fumbled their return game with Iowa City and slipped from first place in the Valley race. Returning to life, however, they blasted St. Ambrose 43-28 to take the city title. Stealing past the weak McKinley squad Bob Gildea drives in for a set-up at a tense moment in the Rock Island game. Bob Schulz, in the foreground, is com ing in for a follow shot. 82 seemed to give the reorganized Blues con- fidence, and gathering speed they snow- balled downhill passing Franklin with room to spare, and retrieved their fallen prestige by whipping Moline, tumbling Rock Island, and clinching the Mississippi crown over the fallen Dubuque conference loaders. Bringing their schedule to a successful close, Davenport shuttled past the East Moline five, humbling them 40-29. Pausing just long enough to take a deep breath, Davenport plunged into sectional conflict setting a local scoring record by punishing Atalissa 80-22, and then in rapid succession, crushed Wilton Junction 76-17, slapped Muscatine into the also rans, 36- 27, and snatched the sectional title by handing Letts a 39-30 setback. Rapidly becoming a first class threat, the Blue devils entered district competition by leap-frogging the Mt. Vernon quintet 55- SCHEDULE Date Place They Us Nov. 27 Muscatine 29 34 Dec. 4 Savannah 28 64 Dec. 8 St. Ambrose 25 36 Dec.

Running into unexpected trouble with the Iowa City squad, the locals came from behind to win and coasted into the finals on the strength of an unspectacular w!n over Immaculate Conception of Cedar Rapids. Ball juggling and a seeming lack of confidence almost defeated the Imps in the Sioux Center finals game, but saved by an early lead, the Blues made ready for Mason City. Mason City was the tour- nament favorite and Davenport proved themselves decided under- dogs by succumbing 50-36, there- by dropping their championship chances. Floundering helplessly, a listless Blue Devil squad ended its basketball for the year by sinking beneath Waverly, 33-26. As a finishing touch to the sea- son, Davenport placed three play- ers on All-state teams. Eugene Baker, free-wheeling guard, rated All-state first team and received more votes than any other guard in the state. Bill Paulsen and Bob Schulz each collected a deserved honorable mention. Mid-year grads Allen McCord, Roger Crow, and Wayne Kelling turn in their suits to Mentor Paul Moon. SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL Claiming both City and Quad-city titles, the Davenport sophomore basketmen wound up a schedule top heavy with success with a record of 12 wins, three losses. After bowling past East Moline to end this schedule the sophs elected Don Brummet honorary captain for the season. Bill Burda, standout of the sophomore season, gathered 216 points during the course of the schedule and by virtue of this amazing record was moved up to the tournament squad. The sophomore squad.

BASEBALL From the opening game of the 1943 baseball season, the Blue Devils diamondmen's progress through their schedule assumed the aspects of a triumphal march, team after team falling before the brilliant fielding and T.N.T. bat power of the Imps. Spurred on by the surprise failure of the '42 nine to capture the coveted championship, the locals' openly avowed purpose was to retrieve their fallen prestige with the 1943 title.

TRACK Defending the bushel of records and titles amassed by the undefeated track squad of '42 was the huge task alotted to the D. H. S. track team of 1943. Sporting a smooth floating power that carried them through a bitter schedule successfully, the cindor artists did a top notch job at keeping the standing achievements intact. Despite their efforts, however, one carefully nourished record became a thing of the past. The 18 year unbroken string of dual match victories, born in 1925, was finally shortened early in the season, before the battering of the speedy Rock Island tracksters. The crack 880 yard relay team, composed of Don Shawver, Cal Mason, Robert Moore, and John Thomas, amply made up for the loss, though, by bringing back the bacon for Davenport and Coach Jesse Day in the annual Drake Relays, held at Des Moines.

Midway through the sea- son, their efforts were virtually dealt a death blow when Zanutto became in- eligible because of the six semester rul- ing. After stumbling through their 10 match schedule with only two wins (over Maquoketa and Clinton) the Blue Devils entered the district tournament at Clin- ton, Manuel Macias, tricky 95 pound freshman, alone succeeded in qualifying for the finals. However, Macias was pinned in the first round, having been paired with the boy who later became champion. With all but one letterman returning next season, the Imps are counting on a brighter showing in 1944. TENNIS Varsity tennis squad, left to right: Steve Spelletich, Bob Kerns.

Restricted during the fall part of their season to Quad-city opponents, the Imp court artists whipped through a scorching four-game schedule in double quick time, defeating all rivals to become the mythical Quad-city Kings of the Courts . Spring, however, found the netsters pitted against a classy revitalized Rock Island squad. The previously undefeated Crimson courtmen pinned a stinging defeat on the Blue Devils and made it stick, to take a commanding load in the Quad-city race. The fighting Imps would not stay put though, and soon rocketed back into com- petition in fall season form to finish the schedule successfully. GOLF Golf enthusiasts ran rampant at D. H. S. during the 1943 golf season, rolling up a string of victories and titles to take their place among the best teams in the state. Five different links saw the inspired Blue Devils play- ing in a style reminiscent of the 1939 state champons. Under the direction of Coach Russell Bickford, the Imp greensmen stormed through their six fall match schedule without a defeat to capture the Quad-city title and City crown. At the outset of the spring season, Quad-city coaches agreed to a change in the match system. Beginning with the first spring game, scores would be running ones, and at the end of the season the team with the highest total would win. Despite graduation losses, the spring schedule, like the fall season, was a marked success.

An all-out for Victory pro- gram calls for physical fitness that we may bo at least physic- ally well-prepared to do our duty toward winning the war and saving this great democ- racy. The first step toward this goal takon by tho girls' gym instructors was to encourage a varied activity program where- by all the muscles of the body might be exercised. Soon after the beginning of the spring semester the gym schedule was revised in accord- ance with the outline provided by the United States Office of Education through the High School Victory Corps. Under this program ten exercises, ob- stacle races, stunts and tumb- ling, relay races, sports and dancing, rope jumping, and marching were all included. Approximately ten minutes are now spent at the beginning of A girls' gym class does tho left alamandor in a square dance. Girls' gym class membors jump it up in a class baskotball game.

Margaret Lord. Betty Jeanne Thomas, and Virginia Hinrichsen. Back row: Mary Berg. Marie Kelly. Nancy Romino. Lucille Nuendorf, and Dolores Ohland. Just as important as physical fit- ness is teamwork which is learned only by participation in sports. Al- though the D. H. S. girls do not re- ceive publicity for their contests, they do have tennis and golf matches with other schools. Inter-class and intra- mural tournaments are also conduct- ed in hockey, volleyball, ping pong, badminton, aerial darts, and basket- ball. Girls who wish to really play ball are always found before or after school hours, darting here and there, ever anxious to make another point for our side . The tennis and golf teams are composed of the girls who have reached the highest rungs on the ladders of improvement. All those who try out play matches with the girl above them until the best racketeers and lady golfers hold the top places. each class period for a part of this schedule. The remainder is spent in regular activities. Having completed this girls' commando course the participants are checked with a special test and their accomplish- ments recorded. American girls, called upon to as- sume new responsibilities, are thor- oughly capable of carrying on work which is directly related to the war. Yet, these jobs require good health and physical well-being which is ac- quired through the more rigorous gym classes. Stressing activities which develop endurance, stamina, and skill prepares the high school girl of today to take her place in the world.

BOYS’ GYM Bob Rubley and Eugene Baker are jumping for the ball at Bob Gildea and Harry Ade look on. Bill Coyle it on the floor. Get tough! That was the watch- word in boys' gym this year as In- structor Johnson instituted the tough- ening-up courses used extensively in pre-flight schools. This included com- mando training, grass drills, and ob- stacle courses. After attending special coaches' clinics and schools, Instructor John- son introduced special body-building exercises to the gym students who were required to do them and do them well. Gone were the day when students could play basketball or vol- leyball all period. A certain part of every period was spent on these ex- ercises, obstacle course races, and other fundamental gymnastics. Richard Zuber it thown straddling tho horse.

David Peitscher advances along the horizontal rope. Rookies, commandos, rangers, and marines — these were the four classifications each gym student might be put in, depending upon ability to pass the rigorous standards of each division. Most of the students achieved the rank of rookies while relatively less were com- mandos and still fewer were rangers and marines. Naturally, intramural basketball leagues flourished as did intramural wrestling before and after the wrestling season. A successful gym circus was held in the fall and an athletic show was planned for April, but due to unfor- seen circumstances had to be postponed. A special apparatus class was again held the seventh period. Triple-balancing arc Bill Grin stead, bottom. Albert Hahr, and Guy Kennicker, top. Al Scheer does a hand stand on the perallol bars.

Come as a 'hick'! was the only request on the verbal invitation to the fun party planned by the social committee for the January grads on Wednesday. January 13. Chaperoned by faculty guests, the party got off to a bang-up start with a comic basketball game in which anyone could shoot, foul, or even referee. On the small stage ping pong balls and badminton birdies vied for prominence as students, glad that they had completed the first big hurdle of their lives, attempted to beat their opponents. A jive jamboree held sway on the gym floor as the grads danced to the music of Glenn Miller, Harry James, and Tommy Dorsey (records of course)! ! Climaxed by lolly pops and cokes, the big evening drew to a close. 100 SENIOR PROM Rushing home to change from cap and gown to formal dress for the great climax of the evening — the senior prom — makes graduation complete. The mid-year prom, held on Friday, January 22, from 10 until 2 o'clock, took place at the Coliseum where Jack Manthey’s orchestra provided the music for dancing. Eagerly awaited by all D. H. S., the prom was attended not only by the graduating seniors but also by many lower classmen who laughed their cares away while tripping the light fantastic . Leading the traditional grand march was Prexy Bob Erps and his date , followod by the other class officers. Above left: Sally Hiegel looks on as Jack Christopher buys their tickets to the prom.

COMMENCEMENT Highlighting the January commencement exercises was a pageant, The Temple of the Future written for last year's graduating seniors by Mrs. Kraschel, speech instructor. With twenty members of the I2A graduating class taking part, the pageant showed the vast importance of virtue and righteous- ness. Held in the high school auditorium on Friday, January 22 at 8 o'clock, the ceremony was preceded by an interesting talk by Mr. Henry H. Jebens, president of the school board. As the graduates' names were read by Principal Naumann, they received their diplomas from Mr. Jebens, and then walked through the arch representing the future. t u - SKILL Extreme left: A student receives his diploma from Henry Jebens. president of the school boerd. before stepping through the arch of the temple of the future.

JUNE GRADUATES Spelling finis to their high school careers. 448 seniors trod their last steps at Davenport High on June 8. 1943, receiving their sheepskins' from Henry Jebens, president of the school board. Baccalaureate services were then held the Sunday before, June 6. at the First Presbyterian Church, with the Reverend F. G. Codd, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, as the principal speaker. Climaxing all senior activities, the prom was held at the Coliseum ballroom immediately following Com- mencement. On the committee planning the prom were: Bill Howell, chairman; Will Carthy, Ted Schick, Gerald Fiedler, Marilyn Lane, Sue Kroppach, and Rosemary Malloy. The announcement committee consisted of Nelda Holland, chairman; Ruth Stremlow, Teddy Casey, Marilyn Hoersch, Irvin Schmitt, Eugene Keller, and Tim Warner. Margaret Lord served as chairman of the decora- tions committee. Also in this group were Don Ma- keever, Betty Jeanne Thomas, Marvin Bashaw, Betty Lou Littig, Elmer Copoly, and Ralph Bender. Senior Counselors Miss Balluff and Mr. Hach were sponsors for the social and picnic committee, which was under the direction of Don Cassling, Jack Chris- topher, Marian Getman, Marian Ferguson, Bonita Mc- Murry, Ernestine Martin, Jack Schroder, and Dick Prose. Tickets and publicity were handled by Chairman Ed Fleming, Dolores Hull, Barbara Klein, Beverly Ray, and Warren Beenck. Yes and No , an English comedy, was presented as the annual senior class play in the high school audi- torium on Friday, May 28, under the direction of Mrs. Tornquist, English and expression instructor. 102 DOROTHY ABEL.

YOURS Whether a man labor with hand or brain- in factory—on farm—in office—in the market- place—there will bo an honorable and im- portant place for him in the Post-War World Man's dignity as a Free Individual is to bo preserved. Such is the goal of our certain VICTORY. May we all measure up to our responsibilities. The certainty of ultimate VICTORY becomes more clear as the United Nations gather strength for the destruction of the axis aggressors. A period of tremendous expansion will follow the grim days that lie immediately ahead. That future belongs to you — the young men and young women who stand at the threshold of individual careers. Many and weighty problems will confront you. Fascinat- ing opportunities will be yours to seize. Above all else, CONTINUE TO LEARN. Keep pace with the sciences and the arts of the post-war world. You are at the BEGINNING. It is in your power to help fashion the new world of decency which countless men are offering their lives to establish. You — the world citizen of tomorrow — will meet the challenge of honorable action with the broad vision and intelligent discrimination with which your education has endowed you. French Hecht, Inc.
